Carlton Pearson Biography

Bishop Carlton Pearson aka Carlton D’metrius Pearson is an American Christian minister and singer born on March 19, 1953. He once served as the pastor of the Higher Dimensions Evangelistic Center Incorporated.

Pearson has been the Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple, a huge New Thought church in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Bishop Carlton later named Higher Dimensions Family Church which was one of the largest churches in Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the 1990s, it grew to a constant attendance of over 6,000.

Due to Pearson’s belief in universal reconciliation, he gradually began to lose his influence in ministry with the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops. Subsequently, Carlton was declared a heretic by his peers in 2004.

As a native of San Diego California, he spent the first 18 years of his life with his parents and five siblings. Pearson was raised in a traditional fundamentalist Christian home, a 4th generation Pentecostal preacher.​
​
After attending the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma (where he majored in Biblical Literature/English Bible and minored in Theology/Historical Studies) he worked for 15 years on its Board of Regents and 2 years as an Associate Evangelist of The Oral Roberts Association, (ORA).

​Additionally, in 1977, Pearson established Higher Dimensions Ministries (now New Dimensions ), in Tulsa. The church grew from a traveling evangelistic team in ‘77, to a multi-faceted universal ministry.

………..

The growth included a local church of over 5,000, a home for unwed mothers, one for ex-offenders returning to society, a full service licensed Counseling Center, prison and nursing home outreaches, a national Purity With Purpose Discipleship Program for men and women, with graduates nationally and internationally, a 645-acre horse Ranch for troubled Youth and Teens.

Moreover, Carlton was consecrated to the office of Bishop in 1996 through a College of Bishops headed by Bishop Charles E Blake. Bishop Blake is presently the Presiding Bishop of the Churches of God In Christ, the denomination of his upbringing. He was officially ordained into the ministry in 1971.

Bishop Carlton has served in the College of Bishops of the International Communion of Charismatic Churches. He also worked on the boards of several other charitable and humanitarian organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign of Washington DC, an organization promoting the civil rights of America’s GLBTQ community.

Moreover, has authored a variety of books and booklets. Recently, he has felt a passion to proclaim the “Gospel Of Inclusion” and has written a widely acclaimed book by the title Gospel Of Inclusion published by Simon and Schuster.

The book points to a multi-cultural dialogue and a common respect for all faith disciplines. It probes the Christian church’s exclusivism as being inconsistent, in spirit with the teachings of Jesus, and that it is more important what Jesus said about God than what the church says about Jesus.
